Throughout the research process, it is important to cite your sources and record the information you used. 

Citing sources:

• Documents what sources you have used in writing your paper;
• Gives credit to an author's work and acknowledge their ideas;
• Provides your instructor with the information needed to identify and retrieve the cited sources; and
• Avoids plagiarism.

Many of the electronic databases you will be using (including Omni) offer you the option to download, print, or email the citations to the material you find. This is a great way to keep track of the information you're considering.

Citation managers help you collect, organize, cite, and share references and sources (e.g. full-text articles).

There are many different citation managers available for your use including Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote. Queen's has a site license for EndNote desktop.
